What AeroOrigin does — and does not do
AeroOrigin is a sourcing and coordination partner for used aircraft, not a dealer: it does not hold inventory and does not give airworthiness, legal or tax opinions. It identifies opportunities against your brief, checks that the seller has authority to sell, and coordinates the records review, inspection and transfer steps with qualified specialists you appoint.
The checks every opportunity goes through
- Seller authority — proof of ownership and the right to sell, and any liens or lease interests.
- Records review — logbooks, maintenance and modification records, airworthiness directives and service bulletin status, damage history.
- Independent pre-purchase inspection — by an inspection organisation the buyer chooses, not by the seller.
- Deregistration and export — removal from the Chinese register and any export formalities.
- Import and registration — the buyer's authority decides import, registration and airworthiness certification.
Who it is for
Flight schools, universities with aviation programmes and private or commercial operators in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Europe and Australia who want to consider used general aviation aircraft located in or connected to China.
Used aircraft: frequently asked questions
Does AeroOrigin have used aircraft for sale?
No. AeroOrigin does not hold aircraft inventory or publish listings. It sources selected used general aviation aircraft connected to China against your written brief, case by case, and only presents an opportunity after the seller's authority to sell has been checked.
Which used aircraft can AeroOrigin help with?
AeroOrigin focuses on used general aviation aircraft, such as single- and twin-engine piston trainers, that are located in or connected to China. Availability changes constantly, so each brief is matched to current opportunities rather than to a standing list.
Who inspects the aircraft before purchase?
An independent inspection organisation chosen by the buyer carries out the pre-purchase inspection, not the seller and not AeroOrigin. AeroOrigin coordinates access to the aircraft and its records so the inspector can complete the work and report directly to the buyer.
Who handles export, import and registration?
Deregistration and export from China, and import, registration and airworthiness certification in the buyer's country, are decided by the respective authorities. AeroOrigin coordinates the documents with the seller and with the specialists the buyer appoints, but it does not give legal or airworthiness opinions.
